Secondary structural representation of a generic haemotrophic mycoplasma 16S rRNA. The sequence of Haemobartonella felis (U95297) was used for this structure with numbering of positions following the Escherichia coli convention. All canonical (A:U, U:A, C:G and G:C) secondary structure base pairs are indicated by a connecting line, G:U pairs by a small dot, G:A pairs by a double dot, and other non-canonical pairings with a larger dot. The nucleotides that are juxtaposed but not connected with a line or circles are considered possible, but do not have comparative proof or disproof (Gutell, 1994).
